From Memory to Garment, Upcycling a Vintage Sari into a Dress. Ep. 1: Choosing the Fabric

Starting a new project: upcycling a vintage sari I've saved since childhood into a special-occasion dress. In this first episode, I go through my sari stash and choose the fabric that will become the dress. This is part of a multi-episode series following the whole process, from fabric to finished garment. Follow along for the next episode where I look for pattern inspiration.
